We’re very fortunate that our son and his classmates have known each other for 15 years , since preschool. They are at the house probably 4 days of the week, girls and guys just hanging out . So we’ve been nominated , I guess to be the site for this years Friendsgiving dinner .
When did this start .

It's a forced tradition to get likes on social media. Our group of friends are getting together Thanksgiving night to watch the Saints after we all eat with our families that day. We hang out all the time. This isn't any different than those times, but I'd assume some folks would call this "Friendsgiving"


ETA: I assumed Friendsgiving was a unique event --> Friends getting together to cook, drink and hang out around Thanksgiving. Different from all of the other times of just getting together one night and drinking and calling it #Friendsgiving, because friends get together and do stuff like that all the time.

But people are throwing the term around on social media to just show they had one when it looks just like all of the other times they hang out lol

The true meaning of Friendsgiving is for friends to get together and give back to their community, all of which needs to be documented on social media.

Idk I have never done it but I did see on FB where a bunch of girls that I graduated HS with did it last week and they had it outside. They all cooked and made a table, even had a photographer come by and take pics.

The whole thing got rained out. They posted pics of the aftermath. I laughed pretty damn hard.

It’s a thing that has gone on forever, but a couple years 20 something hot chicks figured out calling it “Friendsgiving” is a good way to get a ton of IG likes.

I've noticed people doing it who don't have family in town and don't want to travel home for two holidays in a row. What's the problem?

It's because you get to choose who to be around for the holiday instead of being forced with family. Most people enjoy their friends more than at least parts of their family.

It's a stupid term. Why would "friend" replace the "thanks"?

Okay downvoting halfwits, explain to me why you'd take away the essential "thanks" and replace it with the people with whom you're spending the holiday.

Would you say "Friendsmas"?

Idiots.

We fried a turkey, smoked a duck and hung out drinking beer outside while girlfriends and wives cooked and drank wine inside. Had a nice meal. I think we all prefer it to being sober, hanging around a bunch of people we have the same forced conversation with once a year.

We can't travel home for Thanksgiving so we're getting together with some friends instead.

What's so bad about that?

I have a group of friends that do potluck parties several times a year. Everyone brings food, booze, and bud and a good time is had by all. The one closest to thanksgiving is called Friendsgiving. Definitely just an excuse to cook good food and have a party.

I usually host the one around Christmas when all our musician friends who live out of state are in town. It usually turns into an awesome jam session. It’s usually Chanukah or Festivus themed.

My GF is hosting one of these tonight. She has invited like 30 people, and her house isn't that big. Even though this wasn't my idea, and I didn't agree to anything, and I have even objected to her inviting so many damn people, apparently it is also my responsibility to help plan, and get her house ready for this fricking thing. I generally enjoy a good friendsgiving, but the logistics of this thing, and me being roped into to help host, is frickED. Women, man.

White people doing stupid white people things. One group of white people do it, then several groups of white people do it, then a celebrity group of white people do it, then every group of white people is doing it.

Thanks Zuckerberg.
